Eleventh Thread: Wedding Edition: The Hobbit Hole XI - No One Admitted Except on Wedding Business!
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, |
Still round the corner there may wait |
Home is behind, the world ahead, |
They're scum, anyway. Ignore them.
Ok, got my program to another whole level of malfunctionality. I'm going to anime club. If the Pres declares war on France, let me know here.
I believe Breath Savers contains a sugar alcohol. It does not absorb into the body like sugar does...it passes through the body, drawing fluids with it. This causes a laxitive effect. Won't probably hurt ya, unless you have a metabolic disorder, but it's not something you want to live with for sure!
I eat a lot of sugar alcohol...prefer it over Splenda...doesn't bother me at all.
I'm out early. See y'all.
Good evening!
Heh...just noticed your tagline. Cute...
A new Hobbit Hole? Already? *wink*
Got everything settled here. House shuttered up, patio items stored away, supplies at hand, etc. I'm still a bit nervous about what we're gonna be facing, but I worked off a lot of that nervous energy with anger today.
My lovely employer announced yesterday (even sent a mass fax-out to clients) that the moment we were put under a warning, we would be closed. Not only did that NOT happen, but they had some folks stay until 5:30pm...one whose home is in an evacuation zone.
Before I left at 4:40, they reminded me to call in the morning because if the weather is good, we will be required to report to work until the weather begins to deteriorate. Fargin bastidges....
I don't want to report tomorrow and then have to fight tropical storm force winds on the way home.
We were so close, I just HAD to grab 'em before we got locked out...
Evenin', Ruthie!
Got Dan?
I'm loggin' off, my FRiends. Steve will be home soon for the president's speech.
Keep in touch, Floridians. I'm praying for you...
hehehehe...nope. Nor do I think I ~need~ any Dan here.
Good night, 2J! I'll be in touch!
That sounds just nuts Ruthy.
What's the latest word on what ksen's doing? Is he staying behind with the f-i-l or did he bug out to some safer ground?
It is! Even the mayor said today that he wants all citizens to hunker down and wait this thing out, but not my boss.
Oh no. Heaven forbid! He even made a point to walk around the department late this afternoon yelling out "Good news! It's turning north! We can probably come in tomorrow!"
Good thing for cubicle walls. Many single digit salutes were offered from behind them.
If I were you and IF I actually went in, I think I would wear full rain gear. Yellow.
What a jerk...
I'd let you borrow my boss if it'd help...but he was basically a met major who ended up in the IT field almost accidentally...he'd probably be trying to talk all of you into standing on the beach to watch...
His sister is down there, and I think he's torn between worrying about her and wishing he could see this thing. ;-)
er... ~morale~
Well... if this ain't just queer... (little bay area humor there...)
Here I sit at a lobby bar in the heart of silicon valley, the bastion of whacked out liberalism... and a little ways away on the other side of the bar is a guy talking to what appears to be a couple of women co-workers, out for drinks. He's kinda loud. He's from Bangalore, India (I know this because he's loud) but he has a british accent. He's also a rabid and very articulate Republican. He's doing a very nice job of defending W and trashing democrats over there.
Huh. Here, of all places. It just stunes me beeber.
